Oh god. Wool socks. Can do. They seem so cozy.

Thanks for the car care bit. I'm shitty about car care.

Thank you for such a detailed reply. If there's one thing I can get behind it's having lots of boots and scarves!

Funfun! Haha. I have some fortunately, from my snowboarding trips to the mountains. Good advice nonetheless!

Thank you for the suggestions! I love me some REI- I will definitely be looking into those other sites though. I hadn't heard of them before.

Hello! So, I will be moving for grad school/ my husband's job later this year. I've always lived in warm climates, although I do have some experience with cold and snowy winters. The region I am moving to, however, is far more north than I've ever lived and..is tundra level cold. I don't think my past winter experience will adequately prepare me for this endeavor. I'm pretty excited about this, but also somewhat nervous. Any of you have any advice you're willing to offer? Thanks!

1. Depends on the university and program. If the program is really swamped with lots of applications, low GREs or GPAs might be a way of immediately cutting out some applicants. 2. I did. It's a good way of letting the committee know where you're going with your degree. The MS program I'm going into can be set up to help people like me who are interested in research and plan on going into a PhD program. 3. I asked the professor who is in charge of the MA program at the school I got my BA from about this. He said yes. I did so for the program I'm doing my MS at, but it didn't really matter because the professor I really wanted isn't actually one of the MS program's advisers. Oh well! 4. That sounds like a good idea. Touch on the areas you're interested, but emphasize the ones that are more closely affiliated with the specific program you're applying to. Good luck with your applications!!
